Although Dean Letourneau, a 6-foot-7 center, will play for Boston College in the winter, he had a taste of playing at the highest level.

BOSTON — Dean Letourneau’s flight was scheduled to take off not long after the final day of Bruins development camp finished on Thursday.

But the Canadian teenager headed home with a plan.

Less than a week after the Bruins picked the unusually tall center 25th overall in the first round of the NHL Draft, Letourneau spent four days in Boston dipping his feet in the water of what he hopes will be his future.
